My scarlett runner beans are finally starting to bear 'fruit'. BF they're growing up a trellis on my balcony, in a container that's about 23" in diameter and about 15' deep. It's a lovely lush vine, and I'm now seeing fruit developing nicely. I also have cukes growing in a container.

Here's what my balcony looks like from outside.

This is cucumbers growing in a container... if you look closely you can see a cucumber that's about 3&quot; long. I've picked about 5 so far.

This is scarlett runner beans growing in a container, up a 7' trellis. I'm now seeing beans growing.

i understand what you mean BF. I also want to grow things vertically, and not just beans, but cukes and other veggies.
When we finally by a house I'm going to have DH help me build trellises for the garden so I can grow lots of climbers and use the flatter wider spaces for squashes on the ground.

Thanks Meggylou

I used the wrong terminology

Vertical growing. Yes that is what I mean.

Veggies of a any kind as climbers
